All counts will be reported as per 80,000 because that is roughly the population of Kosciusko County.

 

Indiana State Data

 

Hospitalizations - Indiana

According to Govenor Holcomb, the state of Indiana will be using hospitalization numbers as their most important indicator for this pandemic.

Because hospitalizations are smoother than cases or deaths, we present the data with a line graph below:

Cases - Indiana

Percentage of Positive Tests

The percentage of tests coming back positive is one way to measure the prevalence of testing.

Deaths - Indiana

 

Kosciusko Data

 

Note that the y-axis scales of these graphs are different than the state-level data.

Cases - Kosciusko

Deaths - Kosciusko

Note that if the number of deaths below is more than the official count according to Kosciusko county, that is most likely because our data source is also counting non-residents of Kosciusko county who have died in Koscisusko county.

 

Indiana Outbreaks

The coloring scheme for the map below is based on a combination of new cases and new deaths per captita in the past week. The coloring scheme is relative, it will always color the worst county pure red.

Below are the six counties in Indiana with the worst combination of new confirmed cases and new confirmed deaths over the past week.

Note that the y-axis scales of these graphs are different than other sections.

Positive Test Rate - States Neighboring Indiana

Looking at the percentage of tests that come back positive can signal which states might have low case numbers because of lack of testing.

For example, Michigan had a much higher death rate per capita than Illinois in mid-April, even though their case numbers per capita were only a little higher in late March and early April. Michigan’s high postive test rate late March and early April suggests that Michigan had worse testing than Illinois during that time.
